Watch Tim and Eric Clown Around on “Colbert”

Tim and Eric appeared on last night’s episode of “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert,” and they were dressed up as clowns. When Colbert asked about the makeup and outfits, Tim Heidecker responded, “I didn’t know that we were going to get into this.” He explained that he was going through a tough divorce and the only thing that gives him joy “is clowning around with my best friend Eric Wareheim.” Then, they performed an excerpt of their new clown routine, which featured both stereotypical clown antics and harsh truths about Heidecker’s failed marriage. Definitely watch the interview below.

The duo’s late night talk show appearances are pretty much always this surreal. They once wore tuxedos and top hats on “Kimmel,” where they spent a lot of time talking about their conspiracy theories surrounding the film Rango. Another time, they showed up on “Conan” in ski gear with extensive sunburns (from all the “nude skiing” they’d been doing). The next episode of “Tim & Eric’s Bedtime Stories” airs October 2 on Adult Swim.
